The McDonald’s Delivery Cuff, developed by Huhtamaki using recycled MM Board & Paper cartonboard, is an innovative and effective solution for the secure delivery of McDelivery items.
As a leading global provider of sustainable packaging solutions, Huhtamaki specially designed the sustainable and functional bag sealer as a replacement for stickers that were applied to delivery bags. Delivery Cuff prevents food waste and guarantees hygiene and safety for food delivery.
The sealer’s design is composed of folding cartonboard with two adhesive strips applied to the reverse for tamper evidence. Once the delivery is received the cuff can be opened by pulling on two strategically placed tear strips.
The product was developed and launched in the UK and is made of 50/50 virgin and recycled cartonboard. It is flat packed to reduce logistics costs and CO2 emissions.
